Motherwell manager Stephen Robinson is free to take his place in the dugout for the League Cup final against Celtic after avoiding a lengthy ban for misconduct.

Robinson will miss one match after admitting misconduct at a Scottish FA disciplinary hearing but is free for the showpiece final on November 26.

He will be suspended from the dugout for the Premiership match away at Ross County.

The Motherwell boss also received an additional one-match suspended ban, which will take effect if he is found to have broken the same rule between now and the end of the season.

"I attended Hampden this morning and I received a fair hearing," Robinson told Motherwell's official website. "I respect and accept the judgment of the panel. We can now draw a line under this and move on."

The Northern Irishman was charged with misconduct for his behaviour during the semi-final win over Rangers at Hampden, when he was sent to the stand along with then-Rangers boss Pedro Caixinha after tempers flared on the touchline.

A hearing was initially set for November 9, putting Robinson at risk of watching his side's big day from a distance, but was moved forward by a week.

While Robinson admitted the rule breach, a three-match ban suspension from 2016 meant no fixed offer of a ban was made by the Scottish FA compliance officer and an independent panel set the punishment.

The Motherwell boss previously said it would be an "injustice" if he was banned from his technical area for the final.

"I will deal with that when it comes, we'll see what happens but I don't think I did a whole lot wrong," Robinson said after the initial charge.

"I didn't leave my technical area, etc, but we will deal with that and speak to the SFA and I'm sure they will be sensible with it.

"I'd be absolutely devastated (to miss the final) for what it was. It would be an injustice to say the least but we'll deal with it when it happens."
